Bobby returned to the Mountain after previously working at the University of the South and serving one year as an AmeriCorps VISTA member. As a VISTA member, he served the residents of Grundy County in conjunction with the Grundy County Health Council. He says, "I'm very excited to be back and have the opportunity to serve again. I'm really grateful to Ashley and the Office of Community Engagement for allowing me to be a part of this." Bobby earned his Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from East West College of Natural Medicine in Sarasota, Florida, and is working toward establishing his Chinese medicine/acupuncture, massage therapy, and fitness training practice here, in hopes of offering the community additional therapies in health and wellness. In addition, Bobby received his Master of Sport Science degree from the United States Sports Academy in Daphne, Alabama. He enjoys coaching track and field and working with athletes of all levels and ages in a variety of sports. When not working, Bobby loves spending time with his dog and enjoys long hikes, sprinting, and exercise in general.
